Let's talk SEO

Why do I need an SEO involved in my website migration?

Retain your search visibility

Website migrations can be a high-risk period for organic traffic. Without proper planning, some websites have experienced a significant drop in visibility lasting up to 18 months post-migration. It’s far more efficient to minimise the risk of traffic loss during the migration phase than to address it after the fact.

Ensure best practices

Many web-only agencies may lack the SEO best practices required for a seamless website migration. With Clever Clicks, our experts are well-versed in these practices and can meticulously examine and optimise all necessary elements before the site launch. This proactive approach is crucial for maintaining search visibility and traffic.

Engaging an SEO agency in the migration process ensures that the new website, platform, or CMS is SEO-friendly from the start. Our team is well-equipped to implement essential technical optimisations, covering aspects such as redirects, robots.txt, and more, to establish a strong foundation for your site. By addressing technical details comprehensively, we reduce the risks associated with traffic loss and instability post-migration.
